Chapter 4; The God Of Thunder
LOKI HAD A FRIGHTENED LOOK as he frantically looked around the jet, In an obvious state to worry. "Where is this coming from?" Natasha questioned. Her head perking up at the loud roars of thunder and the bright flashes of lightning. Y/N simply raised an eyebrow at her.
"Psh, I don't know. Maybe er-- Natural Causes?" Y/N sarcastically remarked. He could basically hear Nat roll her eyes. It was like a natural instinct of hers.
Steve looked at Loki, noticing the unusual shift in his body.
"What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?"
"I'm not overly fond of what follows." The God of Mischief answered, looking back up. As he said that, he was earned with confused looks.
It was then when a loud BANG was heard coming from the roof, causing everyone to jump at the sudden pressure. The jet shaking as the they frantically prepared. Tony and Steve placed their respective helmets on. Tony walks up at the back, pressing a button the opens the backdoor in goal of checking it out.
This caused Steve to question the Stark.
"What are you doing!?" He exclaimed.
He didn't receive an answer though as a man with long blonde hair, shiny armor, and a hammer of chosen weapon landed.
Loki's eyes widened in shock.
As Tony prepared to fire a beam from his repulsor, he was then knocked by a hit on the chest by. Thor's hammer, also knocking Cap down in the process.
Thor gripped on Loki's neck, pulling up as he glared at him for one second before and was thrown off by his hammer, getting away in the process.
Tony grunted as he got up. "Er-- Now there's that guy."
"Another Asguardian!?" Nat asked in assurance. As she turned her head back, she caught something in the corner of her eye. She turned to her left to see the left seat EMPTY. Before she could even question, Steve spoke up.
"That guy's a friendly?--"
"It doesn't matter." Tony answered, looking back at Steve. "If he frees Loki or kills him, the tesseract's lost." He turned back around, making his way through the exit.
"STARK WE NEED A PLAN OF ATTACK!"
"I HAVE A PLAN..."
"ATTACK!" He blasted off, leaving an annoyed Cap.
Steve quickly brushed it off and without wasting time, He quickly grabbed a parachute.
His eyebrows raising in question as one slot was empty.
"I'd sit this one out, Cap!" Natasha says, looking over her shoulder.
"Wheres L/N?"
Nat scoffed.
"Your guess is the same as mine." She says, before turning back at Cap. "Are you sure you're going through with this? These guys are basically gods!"
"Theres only one god, Ma'am." Steve answered, tightening the parachute. "And I don't think he dresses like that." He grabs his shield and dives out.
--
AS Y/N LANDS he hears a man groan in pain, he follows the noise to be lead to the middle of the woods. Thor gets up, grunting as he glares daggers at Tony.
"Do not touch me again." He taunted
"Then don't take my stuff."
Y/N then slowly walks to Tony, standing on his right.
"You have no idea what you're dealing with." Thor says. Tony looks around before turning to the God of thunder. "Shakespeare in the Park?" Tony joked bu earned an amused look from Y/N.
"Doth Mother know you wear-eth her drapes?
Y/N nudges Tony in the ribs, but forgets that Tony literally has a suit made of metal, wincing in pain.
"This is beyond you, metal man." Thor says softly. "Loki will face Asgardian justice." But Y/N shook his head once the pain was away.
"No, No. That's not how we want things done." Y/N started shaking a finger to the god. "He's all yours once he has given up the Cube. Till' then, mind your damn business."
Thor tilted his head at the L/N as Tony's helmet lifts down, covering his face.
"Do you know who you are talking to?"
"I don't give a damn..."
Thor had enough. He threw his hammer at Y/N, flying him back. His back hitting a tree which breaks down from the strength of the hammer.
Y/N's mouth twitched in anger as he got up, cracking his neck as he slowly got up.
In Y/N's defense, Tony fired a repulsor at an unanticipated Thor, also flying him back. As Thor quickly got up, he was knocked down by a hard kick from Y/N.
Thor lifted his hammer up, summoning lightning.
As he took in enough, he fires it straight forward. In instinct, Y/N ducks down but Tony is hit square in the chest. He quickly stops it, lines of fire and sparks coming out of his armor.
"Power at 400% capacity."
Tony smirks as he analyzes the data. "How about that?" He then fires with all three of his repulsers. From the two palms to the chest. As Thor was sent back, All three take a defensive stance.
"HEY!"
A sphere came flying, hitting Stark's helmet. This all catches their attention as they all turned to the direction of the voice. It was none other than Captain America.
"That's Enough." He says as he drops down to ground, landing on one knee before getting back up, glaring at the scene infront of him. "Now, I don't know what you plan on doing here--"
"I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes!"
"Then prove it." Cap sternly says. "Put that hammer down."
Y/N and Tony quickly shook their heads simultaneously at Steve.
"Um, yeah-- No! Bad call he loves his hammer--" Thor silences Tony by swung Tony away, causing him to fly back. Y/N was no longer sure of what to do at this certain situation as he gripped on each handle of his katannas.
"YOU WANT ME TO PUT THE HAMMER DOWN!?" Challenged Thor who glared at Cap. Y/N's eyes widening at the sight before him. Thor then leaped off of the ground as he swung his hammer in the air for momentum. Cap lifted his shield up as Y/N took a step back, covering himself with his arms no matter how little it helps.
Thor's hammer had so much momentum that as connected with the shield, A huge shockwave was bursted as emits of slight lightning bursted open.
Y/N was flown back. The trees waving backwards as the leaves flew at rapid rates. Dozens of piles of wood and branches all collapsed as Y/N was on the bottom of a small stack, grunting in pain.
Tony slowly got Y/N back up, patting his back which made it worse.
"Ah-! Ouch!"
--
LOKI WAS ESCORTED by groups of S.H.I.E.L.D officers surrounding him, heavily armed. A menacing smile he flashed as he passed by Banner's lab. Bruce rubbed his forehead as the sick man had gone away from his sights.
A door sliding close as it automatically locked. The cell was round, covered in glass. A small bench was provided as it was all set in the middle of the room.
"In case it's unclear..." Nick started as he walked over a panel. "If you try to escape, If you so much as scratch that glass--"
The ground underneath the given cell opened up, the strong winds flew and could be heard as Loki's observed the sight below him.
"It's 30,000 feat straight down in a steel trap. You get how that works?" Nick then pressed a button on the panel, closing it. "Ant, Boot." He pointed in a challenging tone.
Loki let out a small chuckle.
"It's an impressive cage." Loki shrugged, his arms wide open as in a form of taunt. "Not built, I think, for me."
"Built for something a lot stronger than you."
"Oh, I've heard." Loki softly says as he turned to his left. A small camera faced to his direction as he eyed it. "A mindless beast. Makes play he's still a man.
"How desperate are you, that you call on such lost creatures to defend you?"
"How desperate am I?" Nick questioned, glaring at the God of Mischief. "You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace, and you kills because it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did."
Loki let out a small breath of a tease.
"It burns you have come so close." He taunted softly. "To have the tesseract, to have power, UNLIMITED power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share. And then to be reminded of what real power is. "
Nick's mouth twitched before turning back.
"Well, let me know if 'real power' wants a magazine or something."
--
Y/N BIT ON HIS LIP as the monitor faded to black. "He really grown on you, doesn't he?" Banner spoke in attempt to lighten the mood.
"Loki's gonna drag this out." Steve pointed out before turning his head up, facing the God of thunder. "So, Thor, what's his play?"
"He has an army called the Chitauri." Thor explained, his chin planted on his fist as if he was deep int thought. "They're not of Asgard, nor any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth, in return, I suspect for the Tesseract."
Y/N scoffed as he released an deep exhausted set of air from his mouth.
"An army from out-of-fucking-space. What has my life come to..." He mumbled to himself.
"So, he's building another portal." Banner pointed out. "That's what he needs Erik Selvig for."
"Selvig?"
"He's an astrophysicist."
"He's a friend."
"Loki has him under some kind of spell. Along with one of ours." Natasha spoke out, and once again, guilt formed up into Y/N. He looked at Natasha who already had eyes on him. He clenched his jaw before quickly standing up, leaving the group.
Natasha watched as Y/N slowly walked away. Somehow guilt was able to make her way as she remembered Barton's words to her.

"Why so harsh on that man?"

A KNOCK WAS HEARD ON Y/N'S DOOR as he was sitting on his bed, his back rested on the wall behind him. He slowly uncrossed his legs before walking over to the door, slowly opening it in the process. As the door creaked open, it is revealed to be Fury.
"May I come in?" Y/N nodded, gesturing as he made way for his director. He flashed a small smile before entering.
He took in the setting.
It was simplistic. A small table next to his bed which had a small monitor. A flat screen T.V mounted on the wall and a few scattered books on the floor.
He released a deep sigh as he sat down at Y/N's spare chair, Y/N following as he plopped himself back onto his bed.
"So, what do you need?"
Air released out of Fury's nose as he looked at the L/N. "You know, I noticed you stopped calling me 'Uncle Nick' now. You were obsessed with that name as a child."
Y/N smiled as he reminisced.
"Yeah, well maybe I grew up" Y/N says popping the letter 'p' looking down.
Nick sucked onto his teeth as he looked at Y/N. "Have you ever thought about taking a rest?" Fury let out, he received a shrug from Y/N. "Sometimes I just think about retiring when it's all over.."
Y/N lightly chuckled. "Well yeah, you have been growing some grey hairs on your beard." He teased making them both chuckle. "But retirement ey? Tired of it?"
Nick shook his head.
"It's just getting exhausting-- all of this." He aimlessly waving around the room as he sighed.
They sat in a small awkward silence before Y/N cleared his throat, Nick's head perking up. "I always wondered what it was like to have a normal life." He let out, slowly bringing his head up as he looked at Nick. "No missions, No weapons... Just-- A regular life.. You know?"
Nick slowly nodded.
"I have actually." He said as the thought came into mind. "Never expected this small Louisiana boy to grow up and become and boss Captain America around. I actually love the thought of a regular life"
They both chuckled.
Y/N layed his head on both of his arms, getting comfortable as he released a nice sigh. "Retirement would be nice. Just-- a long vacation." He pointed out. "...A long vacation... Nothing to bother you anymore... Just time by yourself..."
Nick squinted his eyes at the L/N.
Y/N shrugged at the thought.
"That would be nice.."
